Coastal Garden Design

Gardening near the coast is not about forcing plants to survive. It is about choosing the right plants from the start and letting the environment do most of the work.

We design gardens around plants that already belong on the Eastern Cape coastline. They cope with salt-laden air, sandy soil, strong wind and long dry periods, and they bring birds, bees and other pollinators into the garden.

What you can expect

• A design that suits your specific site, whether you are right on the shore or a few streets back
• Indigenous and water-wise plants grouped by their water needs
• Natural stone, gravel and mulch to cut down on watering and weeding
• Shelter planting where the wind is strongest
• A garden that looks natural in its setting and needs far less upkeep

What thrives in one Jeffreys Bay garden may struggle two streets away, which is why Ben always visits before recommending anything.
